Which TWO actions can you perform using Microsoft Intune to manage Windows 10 devices?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse Intune's device management capabilities with on-premises Group Policy or Active Directory tasks, leading them to incorrectly select options like creating local users or managing DHCP, which are outside Intune's scope.
